Change 238090 had a related patch set uploaded (by VolkerE):
Change #searchInput to type="search" and add <label>

As an explanation of the added CSS rule

[type="search"]::-ms-clear { // IE10+ adds clearing x, we want to avoid
	display: none;
}

Here's a screenshot of the clear button that comes with type="search" on IE 10+. We're going to hide it for now, as long as we don't have a cross-browser function.
